Chapter 33 Section 11

The people from the hotel drove the van and put it in front of the main entrance.When Totsukawa and the others got in, the white rental car driven by Honda was about to leave the parking lot. Xiben drove the car, "Where is he going in the middle of the night?" He muttered, staring at the rental car ahead. Totsukawa checked his watch, the hour hand pointed to one o'clock in the morning.I saw the gloomy outside the window, and silver snowflakes floating.Indeed, where was he thinking in the middle of the night? The white rental car drove from the hotel towards the station.Of course, the station is also quiet.The white rental car turned right and started to slow down.

There are no pedestrians on the street.Occasionally taxis drive past, but there are very few of them.The little snowflakes drifted away with the wind almost without falling to the ground. Suddenly, the white rental car running ahead stopped.Xiben parked the car five or six meters away from it.The Honda was parked in front of the all-night fast food joint.After getting out of the car, Honda went into the fast food restaurant. "What do you want to eat after running out of the hotel at this time?" Totsukawa asked in amazement. The Honda that entered the fast food restaurant did not come out.Totsukawa looked ahead and lit a cigarette.Kamei also leisurely lit a cigarette.About half an hour later, Honda emerged from the fast food restaurant, surprisingly, with a woman in a white mink coat.

"What's going on here?" Kamei asked.Totsukawa stared intently at the woman in the mink coat. "That's Mayumi Nakagawa!" "But the clothes are not right, she is wearing a gray coat." Nishimoto said. "Changing clothes." Totsukawa said. At this point, Honda let the woman sit in the passenger seat.After Nishimoto started the van, he said, "I don't think it's right! Where did she change into that mink coat? It is supposed to be close to twelve o'clock at night when I arrived in Hakodate." "Honda came out with a large handbag. I am familiar with this handbag. Mayumi Nakagawa has carried it before. It must have stuffed a mink coat in it."

"But why do you want to do that?" "can not say it clearly." "The most important thing is, why did the woman who disappeared on the intermodal ship appear in this fast food restaurant?" Xiben asked. "I can't tell." Shi Junchuan seemed to feel a little troubled. A white Honda rental car runs along the coast of Hakodate Port, and the city lights of Hakodate are clearly visible on the right.On the left is the port.The lights of moored ships flowed across the water.The white rental car turned the steering wheel to the left halfway and entered National Highway No. 228.If you turn left, drive towards Esashi.The white rental car continued to run along the coast, a little leisurely, not very fast.

"Where is this direction going?" Totsukawa asked, and Kamei immediately unfolded the sightseeing map he got from the hotel. "Running along the Matsumae line now, there should be Matsumae in front, and you can also reach the entrance on the Hokkaido side of the Seikan Tunnel." "Is this the entrance to the tunnel in the middle of the night?" "Yes, there are several hot springs in that area, Yunodai Hot Spring, Yunosato Hot Spring, Chinai Hot Spring, Matsuura Hot Spring..." Kamei said one by one. "Self-righteous, leading a woman is going to a hot spring?" Nishimoto objected while driving the car.

"No, it won't be going to the hot spring." Totsukawa said. "However, in this long dark night, there is no way to go to another place!" Kamei said. "If you want to go to hot springs, there are several places near Hakodate. Isn't there a famous hot spring? For example, Yuchuan Hot Spring is right next to Hakodate?" "It's only about fifteen minutes by car." "Then, they are going to Songqian, where there are sightseeing spots such as ancient cities and temples." Nishimoto said. "Are they going to drive slowly, before dawn arrives at the pine?"

"If it were me, the city of Hakodate would attract me more than Matsumae." Kamei said. "Come on, show me the map." Totsukawa said, taking the map from Kamei and staring at it. The Honda rental car ran southward along National Highway No. 228, leaving Yunosato Onsen and Chinai Onsen behind.If you drive forward like this, you are really going to Matsumae, the city at the end of the Matsumae Peninsula. However, in Totsukawa’s view, they will not go to Matsumae. If they really want to go, it is ideal to go after dawn. The important thing is that they rent a car specially, but they are driving in the middle of the night. How can they enjoy the scenery along the way? where?

"There's a stop ahead." Xiben said hurriedly. "Overtake, we will stop!" Totsukawa ordered Nishimoto to say. The white rental car was parked beside the road.The van of Totsukawa and the others also passed the opponent slowly and stopped.As soon as Totsukawa turned around, the white taxi had already turned a U-shaped turn and returned.Nishimoto also turned the car around. "Going back to Hakodate again?" "No way, I probably got the route wrong." "So, are you planning to go in the direction of Jiangcha?" Nishimoto said. Halfway across the Matsumae Peninsula, you can enter the streets of Esashi along the Sea of ​​Japan side.However, the white rental car went to that intersection but did not turn back.

"Stopped again." Nishimoto said.Then he parked his car fairly close by. "Turn off the lights!" Totsukawa said. Later, Totsukawa stared intently at the white rental car parked in front of him. "Honda seems to be looking at the map too." Kamei was also staring at the leased driveway. "What is that woman doing?" Totsukawa asked. "I don't know, I seem to be drinking something, brandy, right? Our side is fine, we are running around in a hurry, bastard!" Nishimoto looked annoyed. Totsukawa stared at the map again. "It's moved again, but this time it's heading towards Xiaogushi Coast." Xiben said.As Nishimoto said, the white rental car left the national highway and drove slowly towards the narrow road with cliffs and coasts.

"I see!" Suddenly, Totsukawa shouted.
